Things to do in Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan: The Best Valleys
Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстан, translit. Qazaqstan, IPA: [qɑzɑqˈstɑn] ( listen); Russian: Казахстан, IPA: [kəzɐxˈstan]), officially the Republic of Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстан Республикасы, translit. Qazaqstan Respýblıkasy; Russian: Республика Казахстан, tr. Respublika Kazakhstan), is the world's largest landlocked country, and the ninth largest in the world, with an area of 2,724,900 square kilometres (1,052,100 sq mi). Kazakhstan is the dominant nation of Central Asia economically, generating 60% of the region's GDP, primarily through its oil/gas industry. It also has vast mineral resources. Some argue that Kazakhstan may be considered a European country because Kazakhstan's Western region is on the European continent and meets the Council of Europe's criteria for European inclusion.

Kazakhstan is the home of three amazing things. Two things are confirmed by examining of genotype: wild apples and tulips are the ancestors of all apple trees and tulips growing in other places. The third thing: the horse was domesticated first on the territory of modern Kazakhstan, it has been confirmed by archaeological research. Participants of our voyage were representatives of Kazakhfilm company, and invited by them reporters of print media known on the whole world. We arrived by jeep to the huge mountain valley named Assy, where the Kazakh herdsmen put yurts as well as 5000 years ago. On the altitude of 2500 meters above sea level, the grass is green all the warm season, and herds of horses, is always provided with food. We have set up camp at the heart of the valley, where we were surrounded by horses, herding dogs, and even cute gray donkey :-) There we were enjoyed a paradise view of the valley, ate a delicious lunch and fed the animals. At the end of the journey we rode on horseback, caressed a huge dog and talked with cheerful herdsmen :-)
